Nope.... in both cases ( the muff or the fumble), the clock would start with the snap... since in both cases K is awarded a new series after a legal kick.
Rule 3-4-3... The clock shall start with the snap or when any free kick is touched other than first touching by K, if the clock was stopped because:
c. Either team is awarded a new series following a legal kick.
